About 15 people lost their lives and several others were wounded when unknown gunmen opened fire at the Agbonchia Market in Eleme Local Government Area of Rivers State on Saturday evening.

It was gathered that the gunmen, said to be three and riding on a motorcycle, shot several times at a group of youths at the motorcycle wash section of the market, killing no fewer than 15 persons and injuring several others in the process.

According to one eyewitness, "The people came into the market with a motorcycle and they were about three. We thought they came to wash their motorcycle, but before we knew it, they started shooting at the people who were washing their motorcycles. Immediately after shooting, they jumped on top of their bike and sped off.

"At the end, we saw not less than 15 bodies on the ground and several others with gunshot injuries. We don't know the reason behind the ugly incident."

The Rivers State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Ahmad Muhammad, who confirmed the shooting, however, said five persons were killed in the incident.

He also revealed that one person had been arrested in connection with the attack, adding that preliminary investigation by the police revealed that the incident was an attack by a cult group.
